    I can’t help it if people have not yet realized the huge cost of memory is a major factor in phone price increases, and that SD cards are a great way to have your full media library on your phone without being beholden to “the cloud”.

      But a sdcard could be slightly slower than the integrated eemc storage and consumers could get confused that <manufacturer>'s phones are slow!

        Meanwhile, I’m streaming HD video from a 1tb SD card (pre crisis price <$80) over WiFi to a TV. The bottle neck is not the SD card for media. Even emulators don’t need higher speed.
